Description
The Mermaid Inn is an inn that was originally a farmhouse, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of painted rubble stone with painted ashlar dressings and features a hipped stone slate roof with rear stacks. The building has two storeys and an attic, with flush quoins and a moulded eaves cornice.
The front of the inn has three windows, each featuring 2-light hollow-moulded recessed mullion-and-transom windows with small-paned lights. The entrance is a depressed-arched door located in a 19th-century ashlar gabled porch, which has a depressed-arched entry and side buttresses. There is a dripcourse with pendant hoodmoulds above the ground floor.
On either end of the building, there are modern single-storey additions. To the rear, there is a large south-east wing with a coped south gable, and a low hipped south-west wing that has two 2-light windows on the west side, with the upper window featuring cast-iron small-paned glazing. Historical photographs indicate that there was once a large two-storey stable range to the south-west, which has since been demolished.
